Walnut Dale Hose Burns

On April 21, 1933 in the afternoon hours firemen responded to a house fire in Walnut Dale, one and one-half miles east of Cleversburg. Upon returning home from picking arbutus the families daughter noticed smoke coming from the roof of the house. The mother rushed up stairs to try and save some belongings and found the second floor a mass of flames. When she returned downstairs the ceiling fell setting fire to the first floor. The house burnt down with damages estimated at $1,500. The Vigilant Hose Company answered the alarm.
